The Global Greenhouse Irrigation System Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.2 %, in the period of 2014 to 2019. Irrigation is necessary to support the crops in case of inadequate rainfall. Irrigation of different types has been practiced since ancient times. For better water resource management and for better crop production, various new technologies have entered the irrigation market. These new technologies formed two major irrigation systems viz. mechanized irrigation system and micro irrigation system. Mechanized irrigation is majorly used for field crops on larger farms. On the other hand, micro irrigation system is widely used for horticultural crops in the open field and in the greenhouse. Greenhouse technology is used to increase the food production.

Greenhouse technology is used to produce vegetables, flowers & ornamentals, fruit plants, nursery crops, and others. Wherever the natural conditions are not favorable for the production of crops, greenhouses are used to suffice the purpose. Advancement in technology is making the greenhouse farming more popular and beneficial. Farmers are also being made aware about this technology to improve the quality of crops.

Global greenhouse irrigation system market is dominated by Asia-Pacific, followed by Europe and North America. China has the largest population in the world, and to feed these increasing numbers, it needs to increase its food production by cultivating on barren lands enriched with the use of fertilizers.

Insufficiency of natural rainfall to support crops, a rapid increase in population, and industrialization have made irrigation a necessity. Irrigation of different types has been practiced since ancient times. But for a better water resource management and for better crop production, various new technologies have entered the irrigation market. These new technologies formed two major irrigation systems viz. mechanized irrigation system and micro irrigation system. Mechanized irrigation is majorly used for field crops on larger farms. On the other hand, micro irrigation system is widely used for horticultural crops in the open field and in the greenhouse.

Greenhouse irrigation system can be defined as irrigation of greenhouse crops by supplying water to the surface through drip tubes or tapes, overhead sprinklers, and booms. It also can be understood as micro-irrigation systems for greenhouses. Here micro-irrigation system is the application of water on, above, or below the soil by different techniques, such as surface drip, micro-sprinkler, valves, emitters, and dippers. This system is used when there is a scarcity of labor or where a precise and frequent irrigation is needed without wastage of time and water.
